I have been a caregiver for Ms. Frances since October and though it was short, it was the most memorable and unforgettable time for me. Ms. Frances had the most upbeat and humorous personality in all conditions.

Heaven truly has an angel coming home.

I wish the family the best, be blessed and if you ever need anything just let me know.

It was my privilege to have the opportunity to know Ms. Lewis in the past 6 weeks. When arriving home from the nursing facility in October, Lori asked me to be her caregiver during the day. I quickly loved Ms. Lewis, as anyone who knows her knows is not difficult to do. I loved her stories of her life adventures and stories of her family. She loved her family more than life itself. Ms. Lewis welcomed me as though I,too, was family. Blessing and comfort to you all during this time of great loss.--Vickay
